Maybe this is just a feature proposal/improvement that needs a separate bug 
ticket.

Could somebody document all this somewhere?... That would be nice, right?

Best regards,
Melroy van den Berg

Annnddd.. the socket forwarding code should then use unix domain  
socket on the server side (instead of localhost IP ports)... SSH 6.7  
and upwards does support that.

Innnteresting.

However, before we implement USB support, wouldn't it be better to
support generic additional port (and possibly socket?) forwarding in
X2GoClient?
USBIP could then hook into that code, and port forwarding is a feature
request that pops up occasionally.

(Socket forwarding could help in getting SSH agent forwarding added to
X2Go, I guess... unless newer libssh versions already support that by
themselves?)

I actually looked at the USB-over-IP project's documentation a while
ago, when a potential customer might have needed USB support.
It seems, however, that their approach is unidirectional, unless you're
using Linux on both ends.
In other words, with what they offer, it's possible to share USB devices
connected to a Linux box (i.e. remotely controlling a USB scanner, to
save the file directly on your client), but not connected to a Windows
or macOS box.  So it wouldn't work for passing through client-side USB
webcams to the host, for example.

If somebody proves me wrong here, I'd actually be happy about it. ;-)

[X2Go-Dev] Development resources

[Ulrich Sibiller]

Hi,

now that Melroy and Dave want to spend time in improving x2go it came
to mind that we are still lacking a long-requested feature: USB
forwarding. So apart from implementing unit tests and doing code
refactoring this is a great chance to make yourself immortal ;-)
